California Salmon and Climate Variability Symposium

The registration is now full. Video recording of this symposium will be available on the CMSI website in about one week after the symposium.

Jointly sponsored by the UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute's Center for Coastal Ocean Issues and the Delta Stewardship Council, Delta Science Program

This one-day symposium seeks to explore recent scientific progress in understanding how variable and changing ocean and hydrologic conditions affect Central Valley salmon and their management. Topics include the feedbacks between climate and flows on salmon populations, in understanding the effects of biodiversity on population stability, and how hatcheries and fisheries affect salmon.

The goal of the symposium is to contribute to the ongoing discussions between the research and stakeholder communities and policymakers on the management implications of the scientific progress through moderated panel discussions. The symposium builds on the results presented at the 2010 UC Davis- Delta Science Program CABA Symposium on Factors Influencing the Salmon Decline in California and the Pacific Northwest.

Breaks and a poster session will provide opportunities for networking and sharing additional scientific research results or information on management programs.

The California Salmon and Climate Variability Symposium is convened by the UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute’s Center for Coastal Ocean Issues and the Delta Stewardship Council, Delta Science Program.

Attendance is free.  Registration required to attend any portion of symposium.  Please note that registration is capped at 170 attendees for this symposium due to seating capacity.

Video recording of this symposium will be available on the CMSI website within one week after the symposium.

*PLEASE NOTE:  We are trying something new by offering a prepaid catered lunch to all registrants.  The registration system is automatically set-up to receive a payment of $10.00 by credit card from you for the cost of the lunch.  If you do not wish to purchase the prepaid lunch, please enter EPMEPZFBGC in the coupon code box on the registration page.  This will zero-out the cost of the lunch.
